Summary: Great Phone
Review: This is a great phone. I got it as a Christmas present and have been using it for about a month now. There are mnay handy features my favorites are the flashlight and the radio. Although the camera's resolution is pretty low it still functions well by means of sending pictures to your friends or attaching to phone numbers. This phone also draws attention among the endless stream of silver flip phones.Overall this phone is good for anyone who uses thier phone to its maximum potential.

Summary: thanks for the tip
Review: ...found the link to http://muwap.com here on amazon. Also found that they give you 10% off everything when you type in "amazon" as the coupon code. They have tons of tones for the Nokia phones, and with the coupon it's only $9/year. Cheaper than mMode, and much better selection. Thanks, whomever posted this before!

Summary: IT'S A WONDERFUL FULLY FEATURED PHONE BUT IT LOOKS HORRIBLE
Review: Being an advocate Nokia user and fan I was determined to get a Nokia cell phone with my new family plan through AT&T. BTW, why hasn't Nokia gotten into the FlipPhone Fad???

When I saw the phone online it looked good, when I read of it it sounded even better. The price put me over the top, with $160 cash back!!!

Now I'm afraid I have sold the phone, this is the reason:
IT'S A WONDERFUL FULLY FEATURED PHONE BUT IT LOOKS HORRIBLE!!! :(

It has so many features, just making a call and hitting options gives you 10 options of things you can do. Some of my favorites: (1) Speakerphone!!! Why don't all phones have this now? (2) adding a picture to a person in your contact list so when they call you see thier picture :) and (3) Nokia's wonderful profile method, making a profile for the office and while you're out etc. I won't list everything, you can see them on Amazon or any other site, I'm just rating as one users point of view.

WHO SHOULD GET THIS PHONE?
- Those who need a build in camera
- Those who are always on the go, need a very strong organizer on the phone and speakerphone (I LOVE THAT FEATURE!!!)
- Those who are not concerned about the look of a phone or how small it is
- Those who like a phone they can fully customize
- Those with a huge address book - maybe even for business use - that can add a ton of things to their contacts info i.e. email address, address, and multiple entries for one person such as their home and mobile number
- Those who wish to heavily use AT&T's mMode to browse internet and send email or even chat on AOL
- Those who need a flashlight on their phone :)

WHO SHOULD NOT GET THIS PHONE
- Those who need a compact and cute phone
- Those who have a lot of short conversation on their phon and don't need a million features
- Those who do not ever use internet access or intend to buy a wireless plan for their phone
- Those who already have a digital camera which much better pic res

Why did I give the phone up?
I didn't like the look at all. In all honestly its a perfect functioning phone, and its Nokia, easy to use navigation and if you're already a Nokia user throw out the manual!!! The shortbut keys are so helpful, it's just a easy using phone but all this technology built by Nokia and so ugly looking. It's wrapped in a cheap plastic cover, you can change the 'covers' is what's advertised but its actually this thing paper/cover that you put inside the cheap plastic to give difference looks, the outside is all the same. It's a very long phone too, not too heavy though but loooooooooong, I think about 4 1/2inches, most cell phones are 3inches now in height and flip phones are half that. Its sort of transparent on the side with a sort of matte plastic, doesn't look good, and has a hideous plastic orange button for on/off or switching profiles.

Honestly, go see it in person before you buy it, if you don't mind the looks, GET IT RIGHT AWAY because it can do more than you'll ever need! Hope it helps, wish someone wrote the same kind of review when I was buying :D

One last thing, people before you complain about dropped calls on this and ANY cell phone, PLEASE UNDERSTAND this has to do with your carrier and NOT the phone!!! I switched from T-Mobile to AT&T, went from OK reception to EXCELLENT reception. No dropped calls, get reception EVERYWHERE! Live in CA, works all around NoCal & SoCal, Nevada and Arizona!

Summary: LEMON
Review: Camera worked poorly.
Phone reception patchy---this may be more a function of poor AT&T reception.
Difficult to attach phone to cordless headset.
No bluetooth functionality.
Poor battery life.
The phone ultimately died after 3 months of use.

Summary: Nothing to rage about...
Review: First don't believe the previously posted reviews, they're made by marketing people. You can simply see that by the wording.

Cons:
- The keyboard design is bad. 1 button for 2 numbers doesn't work. PLus the buttons are not aligned like they used to be on other nokia phones with similar shape... which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to type anything fast and efficiently, especially when using the predictive dictionnary.
- The camera quality is very bad. But this isn't a surprise.
- Internet browsing is not an option with such a small screen, plus mMode plans are a rip-off at AT&T.. so don't get the phone for this. Plus access is still slow.
- The calendar is not improved from previous. Still way too basic
- Small memory... for picture, for number of messages.
- Don't buy it for IM feature as it is same than for internet access, you'll be ripped off.
- Missing bluetooth. Infrared is cool when you actually have a laptop, otherwise again you need to pay $40 for a cable!!!

Pros:
- Light phone. Almost small...
- Full and complete contact information (though missing option to have more than one email address, also missing option to only browse through one caller group, like only friends or only business)
- Radio is pretty cool, wherever you are you can listen to the program you want. Convenient for when in public transport, at work, etc..
- Battery life is pretty good, but not like the first review claims. 4 hours of talktime +radio +etc.... is a lie. But it is better than some other phones. I would say in regular usage that the battery would have to be fully recharged every 3 days.
- Support MMS.. and that's basically the only advantage and it works will with sending pictures.

A good start, but lots of improvements needed. This phone looks exciting, but is not near what the 5 starts user reviews say.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: perfect cell phone
Review: Functionality is just amazing ! I used to have Nokia phones in the past and they are all incredibly user-friendly, which is reason enough to give this phone 5 stars. I did not even have to read the manual for this phone. I don't like flip-phones and I must say this phone has the perfect size, it is very light, the buttons are very easy to use. Acutally it makes it easier and faster to create text messages, once you got used to it, which takes 30 minutes...
The camera is not that bad, the pictures are smaller than on comparable flip phones, but that is just because the display is smaller too. Otherwise the camera is easy to use (one touch and the camera is switched on)and provides even good pictures in the dark ! If you wanna take high quality pictures you have to buy a proper digital camera, this camera phone is just for fun.
I love the see-through cover, I actually used to have it on my old Nokia phone as well. I guess off-market covers will be available soon for those who don't like the provided cover.
By the way, this phone is promoted at present and I got mine for free ...unbelievable !

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nokia 3200 Phone
Review: Great phone, with lots of nice extras. Kinda like the swiss army knife of cell phones. It has a built in radio and flash light along with a fairly good camera. Tons of memory to take picures with. All this and the phone actually works great too. All the phone needs is more GSM coverage in more areas and its good to go. As a bonus, GSM phones do work almost everywhere in europe.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Some nice features marred by cheap-looking plastic case!
Review: I had a chance to play around with this phone recently. While the phone had the following pro's and con's, I ultimately returned the phone and selected another. Here's my observations:

PRO-
-EDGE-enabled (if your provider supports it)
-Built in camera
-Highly Customizable
-Infrared port
-AOL/ICQ instant messaging

CON-
-VERY cheap, easily scratched plastic case
-Wacky key layout with small keys (VERY easy to hit the wrong one)
-Very small caller ID pictures (nearly useless)
-No e-mail access
-No Bluetooth
-Customizable ring tones can only be set per caller "Group" (e.g. friends, family, etc) not per individual

MIXED BAG-
-Make your own covers (neat idea, but poor quality plastic case ruins their look)
-Radio requires headset (and how often are you really going to use it?)
-Flashlight (neat idea in theory, but I never used it)

Overall, I just cannot recommend this phone. I would suggest the Sony Ericsson T610/T616 instead.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Small phone, easy to use, tons of features
Review: I have been a Nokia fan for years, but switched a year ago to a Sony Erricson phone. Yuck. I am back to Nokia for good. This phone was cheaper than the non-camera version at the ATT Wireless store. The camera takes surprisingly good pictures and has a ton of memory. I use the IR port to transfer pics to my laptop.

The sound quality is quite good. Speaker phone works fine. Radio is a nice feature, but you have to have the headset plugged in.

The battery life and coverage are not so good, and I think that the both are related. I work in a 60 story building in Dallas and the GSM coverage is spotty. I think that the constant network switching is draining the battery at work.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of the best phones for money
Review: I have had this phone for a month and its very easy 2 use the buttons.
